Learning forward

Education continues to demonstrate its power to shape societies and economies, extending far beyond the classroom. Strategic partnerships between nations show that learning is not only an investment in individuals but also a foundation for diplomacy and economic resilience. Korea and the United States illustrate how educational ties can strengthen alliances and foster shared growth. At the same time, local initiatives signal the critical role of industry in cultivating specialised skills. Kaspersky’s collaboration with UTHM highlights how focused programmes can build cybersecurity talent capable of navigating a digital future. Inclusion and accessibility remain equally central to the conversation. NCI’s efforts to champion autism-friendly education and workplaces demonstrate that learning environments must adapt to the diverse needs of every learner.

Education drives opportunity, innovation, and social cohesion. Each initiative points to a future in which knowledge becomes a shared currency, empowering individuals while reinforcing the structures that sustain communities and nations.
